I am looking for one to go in the boot of the Stag for wheel changing duties etc. The trolley jack takes up a lot of valuable luggage space when going on holiday etc.

Bruce, Bottle jacks, though compact, sit quite high. Just make sure you will be able to get the jack under a suitable point with a deflated tyre.

Bruce,

I would agree with Brian, make sure the jack will fit with a deflated tyre, also bottle jacks are not very stable - OK for a flat concrete drive but the road could be sloping and any vehicle movement (air blast from a passing lorry) could cause it to topple. If you don't have the space for a trolley jack why not use an original scissor type?

Hi Guys. Good point about the fact that the tyre would be deflated! Whilst measuring up under the car I had completily forgotten about that point!!! DOH! Regards Bruce
